Audiometric Evaluation
The audiometric evaluation consists of pure tone air and bone conduction testing. Testing pure tones is done to determine the degree of hearing loss and whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural. Speech audiometry is obtained to evaluate the individual’s ability to understand speech at an elevated comfortable volume. Speech discrimination is also tested to determine how much a person will understand when wearing hearing aids. Testing may also include assessment of middle ear function.

ABR, DPOAEs, and ECOG
An Auditory Brainstem Response Evaluation (ABR) is a type of test, usually performed for infants and young children, that evaluates how well sounds travel along the hearing nerve pathways from the ear to the brainstem.
Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) are the measurement of the product generated during amplification of sound energy in the cochlea (inner ear).
Electrocochleography (ECOG) is a test that measures the electrical potentials generated in the inner ear in response to stimulation by sound.
VNG and Canalith Repositioning for BPPV -Balance Dizziness Testing
During the Videonystagmography (VNG) test eye movements caused by positional or caloric stimulation of the inner ear balance structures are recorded. The results of the series of studies indicate the presence of dizziness or imbalance due to unequal neural messages to the vestibular system.
Canalith Repositioning (Epley maneuver) is used to relieve Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This is done through a series of maneuvers that moves particles from one part of the inner ear to another.
